2006 fusion se 4cyl in TX by seekingbargain

I was wondering if I got a real A-plan price, because when I was calling for quotes there was quite a bit of variation:
 
2006 Ford Fusion SE 4 cyl with auto and sport package for $222/mo 36 mo; 10,500 mi/yr low mileage lease with nothing out of pocket. Some were quoting $50 more per month.

We bought 2006 Ford Fusion five months ago and love it. We bought it for wife to commute to work 126 miles a day and to replace the 2003 Focus.
 
 What I wonder is why someone would want to lease this car unless it will be your family car and not a commuter car.
 
 Leasing and 12000 miles goes by fast.We have only leased one time in our life and it was Dodge SUV with 15,000 miles and it almost buried us time we got out from under the contract. I for one would never lease again and I understand if its a company you get write-off but most people can not even do that!
 
 Five months and our Fusion goes in on June 28,06 for service so that would mean about 25,000 for the year.I know many commuters don't drive this far five days a week but the extra cost! Then at end of lease if they find anything it cost you more and many dealers go out of their way to find something!

softballdad3 leaseing isn't for everybody. There are tax advantages to lease if you own a business. The other positive is, if you are someone who doesn't drive much, less then 12-15K miles a year, you can get into a new car every 24-36 months with little or no cash out of pocket and have payment that are much smaller then if you bought. Just because it didn't work for you don't mean it doesn't work for others.

Tony, I think my point was with the Fusion for most people like ourselves its a commute car and to run around town shopping and type things. It doesn't take long to have the miles put you over the limit.
 
 On the lease I was talking about SUV was our family car for vacations and hauling softball girls to tournaments. We couldn't stay under 15000 miles unless we parked it three months a year.
 
 Then too we would see at the end of the lease we owned nothing and if we bought the SUV yes payments would have been a little higher but another year we would own a four year old SUV!

Her you go, hgershman. If you were to lease a 2006 Ford Fusion SE 4-cylinder through Ford Credit in New York right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 3.25% and 52%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2006 Fusion SEL 4-cylinder should be 3.25% and 51%. Let me know if you are interested in the V6 models instead of the 4-cylinder models.

Hi seekingbargain. Getting Ford's A-Plan price means that you got an attractive set price for the car that you are interested in. $222 per month with nothing due at lease signing sounds like a very good payment for this car, especially if other dealers were quoting you $50 per month more for an identical vehicle. The A-Plan price should not vary from dealer to dealer, but one never knows what is going to happen so it is important to have the dealer or dealers that you are working with provide you with your vehicle's actual selling price. This price is easy to compare when getting quotes from multiple dealers.

Why lease by scape2

Please explain to me how a lease benefits a private customer. Leases are in my book a loose, loose situation. After paying all that money you get nothing, nada, zilch. You don't own a thing. Why lease? After they want to sell you the car for high blue book, and pay yet another 3-5 years on the vehicle!!!
Why lease, someone pleas explain....

Will if you look at a lease as a loose-loose situation then it would hard to convince you other wise. But basically for the pvt person, it allows them to get a new car every couple of years for very little money.
 
Let say you wanted to lesse a BMW 330i (Now this is for comparision and not for real) to lease one, you can walk into the dealer, pay small amount up front (say $1900) and payments of $450/m for 24 months. If you bought the car you put down (say $4K) and your payments for 60 months would be $500/m. so it allows someone to have a nicer car more often for less money.

First Lease by chee2

I have been trying to decide between the Ford Fusion and a Nissan Altima 36 month lease for the past couple weeks and I’m finding the process rather confusing and was hoping for some help.
One of the first questions I have regards the X plan (plan for friends and family of Ford). Someone told me that there is no need to negotiate if I’m using the X plan and the price will be right at invoice and I will get all incentives. On the ford website I saw advertised a deal for 500 cash back for college students, that’s an incentive right? However the dealer said I’m not eligilable for it? I don’t understand why not.
 
The car I ended up looking at was an SEL I4 w. leather, the
print out the dealer gave me showed the MSRP being 22245 and with the x plan I would get it at 21391. I planed to out 2000 down and this would get me payments at around 270 a month for 36 month 12,000 a year. Is this a good deal?
 
Is it a better bet right now to lease a Nissan altima due to the higher residual value? I went to their website looking for the nationally advertised lease deal they were currently offering and could not find one? Are they not currently offering one? I’m sure there is a site that list current lease offers from companies?
Sorry about being long winded I just find the whole process overwhelming.
